The problem is that during the days the sun heats up your roof and walls and even with insulation it will radiate some of that stored heat into your house/apartment. I guess for people with no form of air conditioning, open your windows during evenings/nights and keep them shut daytime (and possibly cover the sunny side windows up with thick curtains or white cardboard).

+1 did that with car sun shades, works with closed windows.

Ouch, top floor under the roof can be hell since it'll basically absorb that direct sunlight and radiate it inwards. The lower level floors are protected by the top floor which is trapping the heat. The coolest places in my 4-floor building (not counting AC cooled apartments) are the basement and the bottom of the stairwell (heat travels upward).

Yep. There's another wave here and in the UK (albeit it seems a lot milder), despite early, mass vaccinations.

I'm going to get the fattest power bill of the year in August thanks to my AC. I've used 100% more power in July 2021 compared to July 2020. My average usage the last 3 months was ~4 to 4.2 kWh's/day. On July 16th I used 17.75 kWh's. But damn it, it's worth every pence/penny/öre to not suffer in 30+ C with high humidity. I'm definitely not comfortable with anything above ~24 degrees. Last year the heat wave arrived in August so unless August turns out to be a real scorcher this year as well the yearly average will even itself out. You can literally use the chart at the bottom to check the hottest days over the last 12 months.
Long term prognosis (with a big margin of error obviously) shows August to sit at 20-24 degrees at which point I don't need the actual cooling enabled (which is what draws 85% in the AC), only the AC's fan to make things very comfy, esp. during late evenings and nights. My living room is facing south which means the sun is heating up the walls from sunrise to sundown turning the southern face of the building into a big radiator. I've almost considered moving the part of my living room that I use the most (sofa, TV, PC etc.) into the bedroom which is facing North and thus is the coolest room in the apartment.
July 2020 vs July 2021:
1 year data over my usage (daily data points). Very easy to see the periods of high heat prompting the use of my AC:
I really like the tools my electricity supplier provides for it's customers. It also shows the best times to take a vacation to Sweden for people that like warm weather as well as setting things straight for people who still believe Sweden is a frozen tundra with polar bears, darkness and snow all year around. 
In fact, Sweden a vertically tall country (1 572 km/976.8 miles) and we cover three temperate sub-zones:
"Sweden's climate is usually called: warm temperate in Götaland's coastal areas (Götaland = southern part of country), cold temperate in the interior of Götaland, Svealand (middle part of country) and in Norrland, except for the northernmost mountains, which have a polar climate."
In fact, Malmö is closer to the equator than both Edinburgh and Glasgow. One major reason our summers in esp. the south-west/south/south-east parts of Sweden are hot is because of the Gulf stream. Our winters are much milder than areas along the same latitudes in Asia and North America:
"The summers in Sweden are about as hot as the summers in North America and Asia at the same northern latitude. The winters in Sweden are, however, much milder than at the corresponding latitude in North America and Asia. For example, the daily average temperature in Stockholm during the month of January is 20-25 degrees higher than it is at the corresponding latitude in Canada. Further north, the differences become even greater.
These relatively high winter temperatures in Sweden are mainly due to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the warm Gulf Stream in the west."
Setting things straight

We've had ≥35°C temperatures for one month and the next few weeks are going to be worse, I wish our Mistress of Fire could teach me the ways of life in the desert and all the complex urophagic techniques that make even Bear Grylls look like an amateur
